Now, thinking about the past all the time is not helping you at all, we should only look in the past for remembering the wrong things we have done and never repeat them so we can improve ourselves.
Think about your bright future and how you can become a better person by avoiding the exact things you regret in your past. The power of will is very strong and you can use it to brake free from guilt.
Take care and be safe!

I started correcting my path a few weeks ago. I never listened to my family's advice, but is time I did. They all told me that I shouldn't take a very risky job. As much as I wanted to take that job, I asked a few more people for their opinion. They also thought it was too risky, so I turned it down. Later I realized I just wanted any job in order to stop thinking about what I've done and because that particular job would have helped me to take revenge on some people who are hurting my family. Something very similar happened with a guy I was dating and I broke up with him two days ago, after asking myself if I really had a future with him. I decided to hurt him now when it will hurt just a little, instead than later, when I know it would have hurt so much more.
One of the things I learned is that I need to listen to the people who love me instead of doing what I want. My family and my friends are very good people who just start warning me when they see that I'm behaving strangely, not when they see me happy. I think it's a start.
I do know that I don't want to go through this again, so I know what I have to do and what I can't do again. So I think my will to feel peace again will help me a lot.
Thanks, Daniel87. You take care too!
